as always they make humor and diversions, but China is not like even 5years ago, is really exploding about technology.

Sum this with low cost of production of goods there and you got the picture: they ARE scared like hell!

Max i don't think that anybody is scared no more. Why? Simply because high quality products made in China are not cheap at all. Those are expensive same as western products.
We are used to see tons of cheap products made in China already. But those are lowest quality junk products spread everywhere.
But...just for a moment take a look on high quality products prices there!?
Ha,ha,ha! Expensive! Same as western products. No differences at all.
Western manufacturers are respecting some standards and not producing low quality junk from long time ago. That's why we are used on hot western prices and cheap prices from China. But no one really think about quality in those situations. When quality matters than no differences in prices between western products and others made in China.
Quality standards are uniform for whole world....so logically prices must follow that.
Manufacturers from China are smart and know that is very tough to conquer market where some western manufacturer already rules. In USA White's rules, so nobody from China is that mad to try to compete it in USA with same standard metal detectors. Those are smart enough to void that and cover only lower standard products with funny prices.
China manufacturers will rather manufacture cheap junk metal detectors and offer to USA market by funny prices than to invest huge deal of money and try to produce high quality metal detector to also offer it to USA market where White's, Fisher and others are already present and established well.
So...no reason to be scared; expensive product will always stay expensive - no matter where it was made and by whom.
